Stoning The Devil: Christians, Atheists, Everyone Should Learn From This Ritual. by HardMirror(m): 4:46pm On Aug 22, 2018
With sincerity and delight i want to congratulate my dear muslim brothers and sisters. Home and abroad for another Eid Allah as granted us to be part of. Eid Mubarak!

And to our noble brethren in far away Meccah who are on hajj. May allah count it as ibahdah for them.

Hajj is a time to be tuned with Almighty Allah. And one of the rites is the popular stoning of the devil.

it is heart breaking and sad to see christians, atheists and unbelievers, infidels if you choose to call them that,... all laughing at the millions of faithfuls that are caring out this sacred act of pelting the devil with pebbles.
This is no joking matter. This is a serious act which calls for our solemn reflection and thoughts.


Many among those stoning the devil are DOCTORS, LAWYERS, SCIENTISTS, PROFFESORS, intellectuals, leaders, oldmen and women!


This should be a lesson that stvpidity has no age limit or profession or any boundaries.

Anyone can be fooolish.

This is an act that should instead remind us that majority are not always right. That you have christian scientists that believe in the rubbish in the bible, does not mean they are right.

Logic and only logic can save humanity from the fooolishness that comes with religion.

this is a point I like making. people are intelligent irrespective of religious beliefs.
no single group have monopoly on science/knowledge.
religious beliefs is a different issue on its own.
anybody thinking being intelligent is a function of belief is acting blind.

What most of you fools don't know is that this act of stoning the devil is not really meant to mean that devil is tied down at that particular place and people start stoning at it, rather it is parts of rite which anyone going for Hajj is obligated to do. It has historical background of which the significance hails from Prophet Ibraheem when the devil appeared to him three times. At each of the appearances, Angel Jibril told Prophet Ibrahim to pelt the devil. Thus, the basis of the significance of the ritual.
All three pillars represent the devil: the first and largest represents his temptation of Abraham against sacrificing Ishmael (Ismāʿīl); the second represents the temptation of Abraham's wife hājar induce her to stop him; the third represents his temptation of Ishmael to avoid being sacrificed. He was rebuked each time, and the throwing of the stones symbolizes those rebukes. It serves as nothing but rememberance of how the faithful men of the past showed faith in God just so we can learn from them too.
The stoning of the pillars also represents the repudiation of man's self and the act of casting aside one's low desires and wishes.

All these you fools don't ever bother to know, and you come shouting logic on what you have no iota of understanding. Where's the logic in the nonsense you posted now? If you don't know something, isn't it better to try to know instead of coming up with illogical assumptions?
See, you cant apply your understanding of Christianity and Bible to the Islam, the two are totally different.

lol. This is one of the reasons I don't let my guard down with experts. I don't take there words for it, I give every claim it's own share of investigation because now and in the past, experts have goofed big time. This validate a law of stupidity "stupidity is independent of any other characteristics of the individual." eg. One can be stupid and be a certified professional. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a physician and author of Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories, believed in fairies and spiritual stuffs. grin

Prof. Ben Carson, a prominent paediatric neurosurgeon, doesn't believe in evolution and is a christian. There are many "intellectuals" that believe in ridiculous garbages eg. Francis Collins. grin

You forgot to give any examples of so called intellectuals who indentify as atheists. People such as evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, who believes the universe literally came from nothing.

Where is the evidence to show that Jesus existed? By evidence I mean objective and irefutable evidence. We have irrefutable evidence to show that Pharoah that lived over 3000 years ago exist. Where is the irrefutable one for Jesus?

Thank you Rilwayne. You saved me from having to bother.

The same process applies when Christians receive communion. It is not so much that the wine and wafer turn into the blood and flesh of Christ, but a process symbolising the acceptance of the teachings imparted by the numerous sermons one hears that are meant to make people better human beings.

Hey, hard, oh but for the grace of ....... go you. Or perhaps deep in my heart I might still be holding grudges. Sad me!

People who have no devil to stone or already know it all should have compassion for those struggling at the lower rungs of existence (except for the fools who literally believe the devil is waiting in Mecca to be stoned, of course, and the cannibals!)
